This is a simulated activity, and you are to assume you are working in an organization with colleagues. Your classmates will provide feedback to you as your colleagues.

You will need to provide a copy of this form to each of your colleagues/classmates/ friends and collect feedback from them.

You may make copies of each feedback form for yourself, as you will be required to submit all forms to your assessor as part of this assessment.

Part B

You must prepare a reflective report on your analysis of your own emotional intelligence.Prior to completing the report, make notes on each of the following topics, in the space provided.

You are the new Campus Manager of AWS in Melbourne, and you are ready for a challenge. You are directly responsible for managing all the staff on the campus, including the Marketing and Academic Coordinators. You report to the General Manager, who is responsible for all campuses.

TASK

Answer the following questions based on the scenario above. Assume that you are the new Campus Manager for this task.

Case Study 1 The Marketing Coordinator’s Outburst It is the end of the financial year and sales revenue for AWS Melbourne shows it has not met the set targets. This could be due to increased competition from smaller competitor RTOs.

This morning, the Marketing Coordinator of the Melbourne Campus held a staff meeting in which she shouted at the top of her voice at all the marketing officers and blamed them for the poor performance of the campus.

The staff, including the academic staff, was confused as they thought that increasing the revenue with marketing and business development activities for AWS was the responsibility of the head office.

However, they could not interrupt her to give any explanation, as she began to bang on the desk and told the officers to come up with ideas to improve revenue for the next quarter, before the end of the day. The Marketing Coordinator then walked out of the meeting in anger.

Naturally, the atmosphere around the campus and in the team is subdued, and one of the two officers is upset and is talking about leaving the organization.

Read the scenario and the case study and answer the questions given below:

a.Describe two possible reasons for the Marketing Coordinator’s behavior in the team meeting.

b.Briefly describe the connection between the Marketing Coordinator’s behavior and staff morale. Describe what effect the Marketing Coordinator’s behavior could have on staff performance on the campus.

c.How do you think the Marketing Coordinator should have acted/communicated? Mention two points.

.You are going to meet with the Marketing Coordinator to discuss the situation. Identify two positive ways to respond to the Marketing Coordinator’s behavior, to de-escalate the conflict.

e.Describe how you would model positive leadership and emotionally aware behavior. Mention any two points.

Case Study 2 Cultural misunderstanding

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, AWS is updating its computer systems to be able to launch online learning.

This project is to be completed on an urgent basis. All staff are working very hard on the project. The IT coordinator has received complaints from some IT staff that Wei, an IT Support Officer who is a new migrant from China has not been 'pulling his weight' and not doing his share of work, or showing interest in being an active team member.

They have complained that Wei does not say much in meetings and never contributes ideas or suggestions. The IT Coordinator decides to have a one-on-one meeting with Wei.

The following is a transcript of their conversation.IT Coordinator:

Wei, I've noticed that you hardly ever say anything in our team meetings and I'm a bit concerned that you might be feeling left out. I also feel that we might not be getting the benefit of your ideas or experience. Some of the other team members have also commented to me about this.

Wei: I'm sorry to be a problem.

IT Coordinator: It's not a major problem and I'm very happy with your work. I'd just like to make sure all team members feel part of the team and can have a say. How do you feel about team meetings?

Wei: Well, I find it hard to say anything because I can't seem to find a chance to talk, and it's not my style to jump in and cut other people off as some people do. It's not polite.

IT Coordinator: Yes, our meetings can be pretty lively, especially now that we are trying to get the online learning platform up quickly.

Wei: After the first couple of meetings I decided it was best to be quiet and go along with the others. After all, I'm the newcomer.

IT Coordinator: But you're still a member of the team. Are there any other problems? Is English a problem? Wei: Well, Aussie English is sometimes hard to understand - all the slang and jokes. But the main problem is that I'm a newcomer and I'm just a junior employee. Most team members have many more years of experience than I do, and in China, we don't like to put ourselves forward or question our leaders and seniors.IT Coordinator: Well, I'd really like to encourage you to join in and speak up. What can I do to help you do that? Wei: I'm more comfortable speaking if I'm asked to speak. IT Coordinator: So would you like me to just ask you what you think or if you've got anything to say? Wei: Yes please, that would be good! Thank you.

IT Coordinator: But what if you wanted to say something and I've forgotten to ask you?

Wei: Maybe we could have a signal.

IT Coordinator: Oh yes, a lot of people make signals in meetings, like leaning forward a bit, raising their pens, or making eye contact with the person running the meeting.

Wei: Yes, I could do that.

IT Coordinator: Okay, let's do it that way. I'll try to make sure I ask you what you think and, at other times you just signal me with your pen if you want to speak, okay?

Wei: Okay, but I'm still new to this style of meeting so please give me time to get used to it.

IT Coordinator: I will. And just let me know how it's working for you. And you can always talk to me outside the meetings.

Wei: What’s “Pitch in”?

IT Coordinator: That's Aussie for having your say, and helping out.

Wei: No worries

a.Mention two reasons for the misinterpretation of cultural behaviors and beliefs in this case.

b.Identify two techniques the IT Coordinator has applied in this situation to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in dealing with Wei

c.Describe how you would explain to Wei how his cultural expressions might have been misinterpreted in this case. Mention at least two points.

d.Develop the outline of a plan for yourself and your team to identify and respond appropriately to a range of cultural expressions of emotions.
